HEY FAMILY!!!
Wow Has this week been super amazing and filled with such a great spirit of guidance!! We have been putting ALL of our effort on finding and baptizing those that have been prepared!!  I'm super happy because we have been able to find two... However we contacted 100!!! lol I guess the Lord works in ways to strengthen us as missionaries as well!  It's been a fight to find but however we are now seeing the blessings!!  I've been having the time of my life and the miracles that I have seen that have really helped me to open up my eyes and to become more like Christ!  I am so thankful for my savior and his atonement and for the strength He has given me!  Well this week we were only able to get two people in the chruch and Sunday seemed to be the hardest day of the week!  It was super hard because all of the appointments that we had fall through so most of the day we were contacting.  However by the end of the day we were able to have one of the strongest spiritual experiences with one family that we had.  We had contacted them and we hadn't passed by their house for a couple of days and we were walking by and I felt the need to go over and talk with them so I just went and hoped for the best because we didn't have anything planned out so I was just going off what the Lord was telling me to do... And I really learned what it means when it says dont worry of what to say because in the moment you will be given the words in your mouth.  Well we entered and we started to talk with them and we talked about Nephi when he is leaving into the wilderness with his family and that they left to follow our savior Jesus and what he had commanded.  Then next I started talking with them and I was in the moment filled with the spirit and starting telling the father about repentance and Jesus and that we don't need to stay in the same state of sorrow and pain of what we have done but that we should let go and come unto Christ so that we can feel the happiness He brings!! The spirit was extremely strong and he started to cry a little at my words I told him I knew how it felt and that the burden of our sins truely weigh down on us.  I know what it feels like to carry that weight I'm sure we all do... however we don't need to hold it all in because God loves us that He gave His only begotten son.  I have the greatest testimony that Jesus lives, that he is my savior and my redemer,  That the atonement can change who we are and make us like Him.  I know because its made me who I am... Its the greatest gift he gave us,  It makes us who we need to be it's my power and my strength,  my rock and my salvation... It's what keeps me going its what makes me not want to stop.  We can become who He wants through repentance, faith, and following the spirit of God.  Thank you for all of you and everything you've done for me and the love that each one of you have!! for the support and courage that you have given me.  
  But I want to say HI TO EVERYONE!!!
